Today's bento idea came from my kid's music book. I was too lazy to make a copy on the paper so that boy and his flute were cut by hand. I made 3 hair styles but I thought this one was the best. I used my x-acto knife to do it. Please ... please remember never ever catch your x-acto knife by hand. If the knife rolls from your kitchen table, just let it go. A little accident in my kitchen this morning: I had my own stunt to catch my x-acto knife ... and the result was I cut my own right thumb around 2cm and it was quite deeply cut. I took the ice from the fridge and towel then pressed it on my thumb. It was the quickest thing I could think of.

The boy was made from ham, egg sheet, cucumber, nori, and red part of crab stick. And the flute was made from carrot. Inside the box : pork belly cooked with mushroom in soy sauce and mirin, Chinese spinach with corn, carrot, orange, and longan.

@sherimiya : Thanks a lot Sheri! Once in a while a little accident in the kitchen makes us more experienced to handle everything hehehe ... And yes, you are right to also remember to step out of the way ;)

Oh dear, I hope the wound will heal fast!Your free hand cutting of the boy is so well done! The boy is very adorable, I better don't let my boy see this, else he sure will want one, and I don't think I can make it! :D

@tatabonita : No worries Ta! You seemed so found with the 'big tummy' hahaha ... :D I'm actually very amateur when it comes to food cutting. But no one complaint at home so let it be that way :p Thanks Tata for your comment. It cheers me up :)

@Angi : Thanks a lot Angi! Yup, it kept bleeding for a few first hours because the thumb moved a lot. Now I put some medicine and waterproof band aid so no aww ... aww when I take a bath later :D And longan is usually what we called dragon eye fruit. You can search it from google to see more about this fruit.

Oh Lia, so sorry to know that you are hurt. Are you OK now? Just one week ago one of the blogger nearly chop off her finger when cutting chicken. Please be very careful.The music boy really looks like enjoying himself.
